roughly translated by google:

Shall submit the alignment Coachella'08 in Mexico City

Through a press release, we are confirming rumors that habiamos heard during the last days, referring to the organizers of the Coachella Festival, visited Mexico City the next Monday, to announce it here, the official line-up of the 2008 edition of the event.

As remember, Paul Tollet, the main producer of the Coachella Festival, visited our country last year to give a lecture as part of the Moons of the National Auditorium, and now, as a token of gratitude for the great support that the festival had in our country in recent years, decided to return the weekend to announce from any location by confirming the alignment official Coachella'08, which, as far as we are able to know, to have greater participation of Latino artists .

Earlier this week will also confirm the news that this year, the organizers of the fesitval Coachella, begin to make another festival during the months of August / September in nearby New York, so this announcement may be a great first step to the expansion of Coachella, soon reaching any seat in our country.

We got news! the world release of the official line up for Coachella Music and Art Festival 2008 will be held in Ciudad de Mexico, being the first time they make the announcement outside the US. Unfortunately, it's a private thing, but they let us give away a couple double passes for the event.

Monday Jan. 21st 2008, Location: Secret

We have an interesting line up for that night. Our always favorite DiscoRuido!, our rock royalty Enrique Rangel dj set, will be playing along side with Café Tacuba this year, and a special surprise act which we still don't know about, but there is a rumor that he is French.

We cannot reveal more information because that is all we were allowed to post.... blah blah.

i believe paul is making the announcement down there because he has spoken at the function going on in past years and has always had a good reception. this sounds like it is kinda giving a thank you back to them for their hospitality in the past.

i think he just happens to be in mexico city at the time of the announcement so he decided to combine the two.

So let me get this straight.

The line up is comming out Monday night at sometime, and being released from Mexico? Then shortly after will be released online? Or will it not be released until some ungodly hour Tuesday morning?

Also, does this mean Justice will be at the press release, and not at Coachella?

When Stagecoach was finally decided upon, wasn't the other option that almost beat out Coachella a Latin based music festival? That makes sense that Paul Tollet would not want to bring more Latin music to coachella. And I am all for it.

Rumours are going around that Gogol may be at Coachella 08. And I said the same thing about them. If Gogol are at Coachella this year, I WILL be there. But I think they should wait a year or two before bringing them back.

well let's see last year we had Julieta, and even though most people considered her to not be coachella material, i surprisingly enjoyed her a lot... and I'm afraid to say it but mana is not out of the question.. which is sad, cause they really do suck..

Rumours are going around that Gogol may be at Coachella 08. And I said the same thing about them. If Gogol are at Coachella this year, I WILL be there. But I think they should wait a year or two before bringing them back.

I disagree. Gogol had a few fans, but I believe a good portion of that crowd at Coachella were either just checking them out or wanted to get away from Bjork for a while. Their popularity has increased significantly since that performance, and I think it would do coachella nicely to fit them on the main stage at the same time slot Manu Chao had last year.

Not only did they release another album since, but coachella is known for recycling lower tier acts from time to time, and I can see them doing this more often now that they have to fill three days worth of good music.

I find this announcing in Mexico so odd. Most people are just going to check the website for the line up and the press release doesn't say anything about a live broadcast or chat when it happens. So what's the point?

the event with the press is just for the lineup, its to promote coachella to get more popular or something like that, obviolusly they wont talk about the webcast or about the recycle bottles, or the set times. not everybody lives here checking all day like us

No way Gogol are that big. Their popularity has significantly increased since Coachella last year, but not by that much. I would say the Placebo spot, possibly Air spot, on the Outdoor theatre. I don't want to see Gogol on the mainstage.
Also, if people missed Gogol in 07, its their fault. GV shouldn't have to make up for other shortcommings. The few who saw them are lucky. I can garuntee you, their 08 performance will not be as good as their 07 performance. I will still be there, and I will be having the time of my life. But still. I think GV should wait a year or two.

01-18-2008, 10:02 AM

When we saw Gogol @ Red Rocks...even though they were the opening act...I guess quite a few folks were there just to see them and not Manu Chao...in fact quite a few were bummed because I guess Gogol went on really early and a lot of people missed them...

A talked to some sources and confirmed there will be an official line-up presentation in Mexico City. Additionally it looks like they will mention some new plans to expand the festival to other areas (Possibly NY and/or Mexico). Let's all hope for some great news!

Sure I'm down with El Tri, Caifanes, Maldita Vecindad , La Gusana Ciega, Jaguares, Cafe Tacuba and especially Héroes del Silencio. But all this Mana hating strikes disingenuous...I fucking guarantee that all you azz clowns talking mierda have at least one Mana album in your collection. That is if you payasos even speak Spanish.

If Mexico have anything to do with the lineup, maybe Cypress Hill will be there... :D

Hey I understand that Mana is mainstream...But for fucks sake its not like they are Backstreet Boys or something...After faintly hearing Madonna abortion 2 years ago I think Coachella owes us all at least ONE good Rock en Espanol band... I would thing Rodrigo y Gabriel fulfilled that requirement which was an absolute beautiful contribution to the festival!!!

they have been my fav band for 10 years....it was about time... Nice kicks

It's pretty cool. :thu

I love your sneakers, lol! I had the same thought before I saw your comment...

Top 5 of what? They are fucking horrible. I'd rather to see Kavisnky singing with Akon. Thank you!!!

ok i don't understand the whole mexico city thing........i thought the lineup release was as simple as uploading it to the main page? is this how they always do it? press conference style?
i'm confused. help. I could have swarn last year that the anouncement was made through radio announcement before it was uploaded to the site...

Maybe announcing it in Mexico has NOTHING to do with the lineup... maybe it will...i guess we'll find out in a few days.Maybe such a huge press release would stimulate a significant amount of media travel for coverage which stimulates the mexican economy???

emtgreg

01-18-2008, 02:06 PM

actually, its a little more interesting than that...

it means that they are not worried about the die hard fans buying the tickets...

presale is a means to reward loyalty, those that will go to the fest no matter what will get tickets no matter what...

so who could possibly be headlining that we would all have a massive collective orgasm about?

smiths?
